Calle Realle

So much I have seen from this famous street that I have heard this name since 3 years of age.

Kalye Realle stretches mostly from the brinks of Gaisano City mall down to Fort San Pedro. In this street also lies the Provincial Capitol. It is famous since most of the local sellers can be found here stretching their territories even though government and police officers had made a big “bawal” or prohibition about them. Well, we can never blame people selling cheap items such as second-hand phones or any class A sneakers.

Anyway, here passes the most conduit jeepney. The main item here is the Plazoleta Gay, which was also a celebrated icon for democracy during the roaring 80’s. I’ve also read in my textbook during high school that Rizal passed by this place on his way to Dapitan and bought some native hats along the kalye which was once a famous street for barters and domestic sales.

A little turn on the left could lead you to an endless view of the Iloilo River in which you can line down to the mouth of the river. This street proves its indicative statement of being the most busiest street here in Iloilo City. No one could ever find such busy place unlike Kalye Realle.

Exactly seven years ago, I bought this camera from Indonesia's local Lomography community. I remember having some savings in my bank account and just spending it all on this camera.

Coincidentally, my friend who introduced me to Lomography just bought this same camera for his birthday. My life has changed ever since I had the Fisheye, my first lomographic camera.

The lens excited me from the very beginning, at the time it was introduced on Kickstarter. I was afraid that once I had tested the lens, I would want to have one of my own! Well, that’s what happened; a year later, I finally bought my very own Petzval lens.

It was the Amazon which I had longed for my whole life. And when it was finally a set deal that I will travel to Brazil with two of my best friends for the Copa do Mundo (World Cup), we really had to start our adventure in the Amazon. I had known about this magical place deep in the rainforest. There was a lodge run by local people of indigenous background, with wooden houses that float on the water and a limited number of visitors. It was eco-tourism as how it should be. To preserve and to celebrate one of the most impressive locations I have seen so far.
